      Did Lanny Davis sign a spec deal with Michael Cohen? He only gets paid if he can convince EITHER a certain number of rubes he's John Dean OR at least one prosecutor he has something to trade for leniency?

      Don’t you think someone in the Trump Org has already flipped so they don’t need him?

      I think people make WAY too much of people "flipping" and too little of what the power of subpoena can do.

          Subpoenas only work with third parties. Banks are great because they keep everything. Career criminals like fixers and shady accountants less so since they have an incentive to destroy the evidence.

          Especially for the cases that are actually going to trial. Admitted criminals don't make the best witnesses, as we saw with Gates in EDVA. They already have Cohen's documents, it is unclear that having him say a bunch of hard-to-verify stuff on top of that helps much.

          @felixsater has tons of TT info He was an @FBI informer facing big jail time before & during his stint inside #TrumpOrg @MichaelCohen212’s risking lots more jail time if he F’s up under terms of SDNY plea deal (which limits his immunity from future prosecution pretty narrowly)
